I will say I'm ready for the Tomas Jurco experiment to be over, and bring back Vinnie Hinostroza back from Rockford. I understand the reasons why the Hawks are playing Michal Roszival and sitting Johnny Oduya and Niklas Hjalmarsson , but it is a huge difference when Trevor van Riemsdyk who did score is on your 2nd defensive pairing and not your third.

It was cruising in the Spanish league and had earned a comfortable first-leg win over Napoli in the last 16 of the Champions League . Barcelona , Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid are now through to the quarter-finals. We are going to speak with him about the changes that will be needed during the offseason. Several PSG players apologised to fans in the wake of the defeat, which club president Nasser al Khelaifi described as a "nightmare". (more...)

OR faces Cal in Friday's semifinals. Every possession was important in Arizona's 92-78 win over the Buffaloes to advance to face UCLA on Friday night. When we get it going, we can score a lot of points in bunches. CU had glimmers of hope in this game, but it became evident soon enough that they couldn't compete with Arizona's high-producing offense. (more...)

At United, Jose Mourinho is having to work hard because he's not the only one with a good team. We don't put a [weakened] team out like some clubs sometimes - Manchester United can not do that. I'm sure United are concentrating on finishing as high as possible in the league but will put that on hold for the moment. However, with United by no means guaranteed to finish in the Premier League's top four and the Europa League winners qualifying for the Champions League, Mourinho can not afford ... (more...)

Despite leading 3-1 in the opening set, Murray was unable to maintain his performance against Pospisil's serve-and-volley approach. So the path seemed clear for Murray to carry on his success from Dubai and advance deep into the tournament in the California event, perhaps even finally conquer one of just two Masters 1000 events - the tier below the Grand Slams - he has never won.

So has he tried to send Kante inside at Cobham? "I like a lot these type of players". And I always appreciated this type of player, with great generosity, great ability to work for the team. "Two top players, but different". 'Ah, assassino, ' Conte said. 'You try to talk with him and he's always smiling. "He has always a smile on his face". (more...)

Now with all the money owed to Osweiler in 2017, the Browns may as well keep him, at least as a backup quarterback if they can't find a trade partner. In other words, what Cleveland did was buy themselves a second-round draft pick in next year's draft by agreeing to take on the $16 million of Osweiler's contract. (more...)

Romo has the Cowboys' only two playoff wins in the past 20 years, with the last one coming after the 2014 season, when he led the National Football League in completion rate (69.9 percent) and passer rating (113.2). Millions hang in the balance as rumors of Romo trade talks swirl into the mix of uncertainty. Palmer went on to mention that the Broncos biggest focus this offseason has been on improving their offensive line after signing both offensive guard Ronald Leary and offensive tackle ... (more...)

As for Belfort, he'd like to fight on the UFC 212 card in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The 39-year-old Belfort fell to 25-14 with the loss, and was unsuccessful in front of his home crowd after losses to Ronaldo Souza and Gegard Mousasi in his previous two fights. (more...)

We'd like to go through, but we can not forget the team we are going to play. Middlesbrough had some chances offensively, but were unable to get past Claudio Bravo and the Manchester City back-line. "The lead is 10 points and we now have one less game. We were trying to apply high pressure and the effort has been wonderful". And despite Bravo coming under fire for a number of performances, which has seen Hart linked with a return to the club, the 29-year-old says he understands the situation ... (more...)

West Ham United co-chairman David Gold has taken to social networking site Twitter to give his reaction to his side's defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon. Returning to the side from his one-match ban, Antonio fired the Hammers in front with a expertly taken shot on the turn to slot the ball past Artur Boruc with ten minutes on the clock. (more...)

The changing pieces made it tough to find cohesion - and a sense of personality. "It was just one of those days and where there's nothing you can do about those three pointers that they were hitting", Terrance Mann said afterwards. 3-Point Goals-Notre Dame 13-27 (Vasturia 4-5, Ryan 3-4, Farrell 3-8, Pflueger 2-3, Beachem 1-6, Gibbs 0-1), Florida St. 5-15 (Angola-Rodas 4-7, Rathan-Mayes 1-3, Mann 0-1, Bacon 0-2, Isaac 0-2).

He joins a Giants team that is coming off an 11-5 regular season that was eliminated in the NFC Wild Card Round by the Green Bay Packers in 2016. Fluker had his best season, according to PFF, back in 2014 when he registered a grade of 77 which is something he's seen dip below 65 each of the last two seasons. (more...)

Tanner Roark is scheduled to be the second pitcher of the game for the United States after starter Toronto Blue Jays' starter Marcus Stroman is done. He struck out twice in four at bats last night in his WBC debut, though the USA team Murphy served as the DH for managed a 3-2 win without any offensive contributions from runner-up for 2016's NL MVP. (more...)

One year after signing Brock Osweiler to a mega deal to become their franchise quarterback, the Texans shipped him off - along with a second-round pick - to Cleveland. By unloading Osweiler, the Texans was able to save around $ 10 million in cap space that could well be enough to get the services of the four-time Pro Bowler. (more...)

Above all, this is a victory of faith. But Neymar , after scoring an 88th-minute free kick, tucked away the second penalty in the 91st minute before Sergi Roberto got the vital goal in the fifth minute of injury time. In the shot, Kurzawa holds up the peace sign while Rabiot holds up four fingers to signify the whooping his team had just put on Barcelona . "The way they played in the first game, pressing high, it worked so well, why go away from that?" the former Manchester United ... (more...)

Following the game, Beilein spoke to the Big Ten Network about how the team's chemistry pulled them through the unexpected events of the last 24 hours and led to the win. "Just credit Wisconsin ", said Wildcats coach Chris Collins . They were very physical. Hopefully they'll do us all a favor, and say "No thanks". (more...)

The Broncos shot down those talks and probably will not revisit them unless they can sign or trade for Romo. Osweiler , though, is not viewed as Cleveland's long-term answer at quarterback. Osweiler is now on the Browns , but all reports seem to say he won't be there for long. He filled in adequately in eight games as a starter, putting up six touchdowns compared to two interceptions while completing almost 66 percent of his passes. (more...)

The 25-year-old looked to be offside as he glanced his header towards the far post following a curling cross from deep, but the flag stayed down and the France international's effort bounced wide of the upright after beating the diving Guillermo Ochoa - epitomising the lack of quality in the final-third during the first-half.
